Repost : Halloween Lawn Ghosts!

Hello My Sparkly Friends!I have had so many requests for this tutorial I am reposting
it for now and will repost my new improved ones soon!
Here is a fun outdoor decoration to make

which will 

have your neighbors

talking for weeks!

They are super easy peasy to make...

Just get yourself some:

Cheap Plastic Drop Cloths

White paper, newspaper

or even leaves to stuff the heads

6 or 8 Lengths of rebar- 3 to 4 feet high

Clear packing tape

a bunch of older outdoor white

Christmas Lights with a long extension cord

HOW TO ASSEMBLE

 1.  Hammer your rebar into the ground 

in a circle formation

2. Cut lengths of drop cloth double the height you want your ghosts

3.  Form the head by balling up paper.  When you have a large enough ball place in center of stretched out dropcloth section.

4.  Gather the  drop cloth and cover the paper forming a head, almost as if you were covering a lollypop

5.  Place "head" of rebar and wrap packing tape around plastic to form neck.

6.  Randomly cut up from the bottom of the plastic to form ribbons

7.  Gather at the waist area and tape again

Your ghosts should now look like armless

lollypop dolls at this point.

8.  Cut several long strips of dropcloth to form arms.

These are crisscrossed and tied arround chest area, then each "hand end" is knotted to the next ghost's "hand end" to look like they are holding hands.

9.  Place your heap of lights on the center and plug in!

You can keep these up thru Christmas-

Just add wings and string the lights around them

and they

become

Angels!!!

Just don't forget the aluminum foil halos:) 

and here is some pink,

since it is 

PINK SATURDAY!!

Now be sure to visit

all of the other Pinkness

Happy Belated Pink Saturday!!!

Hello my Sparkly Friends!

Well I woke up this morning and realized I had SLEPT thru Pink Saturday!!

We flew back from California on a red Eye Friday night, and I guess i was more tired than I had thought!

So I will leave you with a simple pink saturday image-

The Effect of Napa Valley

on Pixies

Hope you have a Sparkly day!!!

Just Taking A Napa! Wine Country and Bad Thyroid meds...

Hello My Sparkly Friends!

Happy Columbus day!

I am in Napa Valley on a Vine-cation

with my hubs and his sis and her hubs.

We flew in on Saturday, and have been sight-drinking  seeing non stop since we got here.

I am finally feeling better...

note to self:  Never have your Thyroid Medication

changed right before you go away on vacation!!!

My doc switched me from Synthroid to Armour

and my eyes were swollen almost  shut and

my feet blew up so bad I had

CANKLES for the first time in my life!

I was miserably tired.

I finally googled my symptoms with Thyroid and

found that many people are allergic to Armour Thyroid meds.

Now I am back on Synthroid and Cytomel.

If you ever have the same problems and are taking Armour, get off it right away!!!

Here is a Winery built to look like a castle.  It was so pretty... and impressive.

The wine??  Not so much, but the tour was fun!

So far we have been to Sterling- Very nice, great tour

                              Mondavi- Excellent Tour, exquisite tasting, Great wine!

       Charle Krug- Great tasting!!!Great Wine!!!

Franciscan-Ok tasting, Nice Wine.

    And now i am having a blackout.... hee hee- possibl;y wine induced!

Tomorrow is the Wine train, I will tell you all about it!

Money Can't buy Happiness, but it can Buy You Some "Fat-Ass Fudge"!

Hello my Sparkly Friends, and Happy Pink Saturday!

This is the second Pink Saturday of Breast cancer Awareness month,

and today I bought myself a

Pink Key!

So you may be wondering-

"Hey Tobi... Why the Potty mouth??"

Please excuse me Gentle readers, as

the term 

"Fat Ass Fudge"

is actually the name of this totally

amazingly delicious 

FUDGE!

I assure you that one bite will have you

HOOKED, 

which will result in you eating massive quantities of the stuff,

Which will then result in...

You guessed it...

A 

BIG

FAT

Tushy!

I met the owner, 

Donna

at my local 

Whole Foods the other day,

and I guess I was

drawn in by the naughtyness of it all.

well, that-

and the fact that anything called

FUDGE

has my vote and is always

worthy of a tasting.

So taste I did,

and as the lovely 

Donna 

(Shown above)

performed a stand-up comedy schpeel

about her fudge,

which had me rolling on the floor-

when all I really wanted to tell her was

"Donna, my dear-

You had me at "Fat Ass"

but alas ,

my mouth was full

of the most delightfully smooth

 Fat Ass sweetness one could imagine.

So I bought a chunk

and went to the parking lot 

like a 

weird food junkie

and ate my chunk of 

F_A Fudge

in my car....

all alone...

that sounds like a problem-

Didn't I hear somewhere 

that you should never eat

Fudge 

Alone??

Oh nevermind, I think that is 

drinking that we are not supposed to do alone.

Well, just so you don't get annoyed that my post about 

FUDGE

has very little to do with Pinkness,

just take a gander at what i was looking at 

whilst

devouring 

my 

little

naughty 

treat...

Do you see those heavenly rays

streaming out of the clouds???

Methinks the 

Angels

got a hold of

some 

Fat A-s

and were expressing their

DEELIGHT!

So please visit

SWEET

Donna

over at 

Fat Ass Fudge

(Yes, that's the link)

and you can be a 

parking lot food junkie

just like me!!!

Then, with your mouth full

go over to 

Miss Beverly's

How Sweet The Sound

and

visit all of my lovely pinky friends there!

Hope you have a Fudge Ridden Day!

I mean that in a good way! LOL

Breast cancer Awareness- What Pink Saturday is all About This Month

Hello my Sparkly Friends,

I have been procrastinating like mad today.

Why? you may ask.

Because we have to write about

 Cancer Awareness 

today 

and

I really Hate Cancer.

I hate thinking about it.

I hate writing about it.

When it comes to cancer, I am an emotional Ostrich

 with my

head in the sand.

Maybe if I pretend it's not there it will just

go away.

It makes me think of watching my parents succumb to it,

and I feel guilty.

And I feel sad

because 

I hate when people leave.

I feel guilty cause I wish I had made

better use of our time together.

But I was too busy trying to pretend there was nothing wrong.

What a Dummy.

Thank heavens the rest of the world isn't like me

when it comes to 

cancer.

That's what Cancer Awareness 

is all about-

getting our heads 

out of the sand

and

doing something about it.

Talking about it.

Raising money to fund more research. 

And stop procrastinating

and

Blogging about it...

Even if it 

hurts

real 

bad.

Cancer Really Stinks...

Let's Help Stop It.

So here is my Pink Addition

for

My Beloved

Pink Saturday

Yep, they're

Pink Poodle Trees.

And I just ate strawberry jam

right out of the jar

with a spoon.

(Well it is pink you know)

So please go visit our lovely hostess

Beverly

at

How Sweet The Sound

to spread the pink word

today.

I will be washing the

sand out of 

my feathers hair :)
